Her work focuses on the neural control of vegetative (autonomic) functions—particularly respiratory and cardiovascular regulation—and on developing tools to enhance affective learning and human ethology. Early in her career she explored how perinatal exposure to substances such as caffeine or serotonin alters respiratory network development in rodents, and more recently she has investigated the role of oxytocin and adenosinergic pathways in stress and vulnerability to abuse . https://investigacion.us.es/sisius/sis_showpub.php?idpers=765 https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Susana_Gaytan https://www.linkedin.com/in/susana-gayt%C3%A1n-5285162b/
